Current Schedule C and G indicators not recommended:<br />

1. Assessed property values<br />

Rationale: Assessment of property values is limited mainly to freehold land of<br />

which there is very little in the Central Coast and only slightly more (primarily<br />

Prince Rupert) in the North Coast. The value of the assessed property has much<br />

more to do with the general economy, e.g., Prince Rupert’s new container port,<br />

than provincial land use policy. The same will hold true for the freehold land in<br />

the Bella Coola valley if a major development takes place in or near the plan<br />

areas. In addition a large portion of the Central Coast population lives on lands<br />

that are not individually assessed (Indian Reserves). The same holds true for most<br />

communities in the North Coast excluding Prince Rupert.<br />
